Player to Watch – Stephy Mavididi

Stephy Mavididi was on fire in Leicester’s triumph at Birmingham last time out, netting two of the Foxes’ three goals in their 3-2 victory at St. Andrew’s Stadium. The 25-year-old winger has chipped in with seven goals and four assists in the Championship overall this season and Mavididi is playing a key role in Leicester’s push for promotion.
